There is much need to develop energy efficient solutions for residential buildings in Europe. The EU-funded project, MeeFS, due to be completed by the end of 2015, is developing an innovative multifunctional and energy efficient façade system to retrofit residential buildings. The biggest challenge is that the project is a consortium assembling sixteen partners from nine countries with quite different climates and building traditions. To work efficiently in and with such a large and diversified group of nationalities and organisations, structures that are both rigid and flexible are needed. The new system must thus be modular to become applied in a large number of European climate situations.
